Since there is three "parts" to this bootleg CD, I will give each part a separate review and rating...

Part 1: "Bloodlust And Perversion"
This is the band's 1992 demo. It starts with a strange, but good, intro (almost similar to NEPTUNE TOWERS), and then bursts into three tracks of low-tuned HELLHAMMER/old CELTIC FROST styled black/death metal. The vocals are very raspy, but not "shrieky". The last track is an excellent acoustic piece that closes it out well.

Part 2: Promo 1993
Sounds completely different than the demo, but this is for the better. The first track is VERY atmospheric and VERY dark!!! A simple guitar riff with great keyboards. Vocals sound like BURZUM, but fit the music perfectly!!!! Next is a good acoustic piece called "The Eclipse/The Raven". The final song, a rehearsal track called "The Last Sigh Of Nostalgia" is different than anything else on this CD, and is one of the most depressive songs I've ever listened to!!! Only bass, keyboards, and vocals are used, and the effect is just unreal!!!

Part 3: Rehearsals 1992
This is just some rehearsal tracks (most of which are already on the CD earlier)and cover tunes. Nothing really special, I do like the primitive sound, though...
